Bullshit! "Time" is relative... You can be doing 10 and if something pops out at you fast enough you can't stop...

God I love that thinking... Well lets just back all speed limits down? Forget 70 on highways, or 55 outside city limits... Hell, we can't drive as it is rightnow so it must be the speed limit's fault... Citizens for safe roads, how bout a nationwide 45mph limit?

And when we can't drive at those speeds, how bout backing it down to 35?

I wish I would have had a helmet cam or someone taking a pic of me coming around a 25mph posted blind corner,(damn corn fields) while trying to miss the loose gravel to find a Iowa Highway Patrol car 2ft over a double yellow in my lane! We missed by inches and I was too shook up to turn around and get a car #. You should have seen the look in his eyes, and mine too probably! I'm very glad I wasn't riding too fast and had room to change my line!!!

Good thing you didn't hit him, you KNOW you would be found totally at fault. Probably get charged with attempted assault on a police officer, or something like that.
Sorry for my cynicism. Been around to long, seen to much.

People in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks. Maybe if we're gonna ban trucks from all the roads on which you choose to break the law, we should ban motorcycles as well.

If you can not tell the difference in risk between a motorcycle exceeding the speed limit and a vehicle that is forced to use both lanes (and sometimes a bit more), then any discussion with you on the subject is completely useless.

How unbelievably ARROGANT to have the attitude that the road was built strictly for the pleasure of people out on their bikes! Roads are built for commerce. Next time a commercial vehicle slows you down, think how all his taxes and fees paid for the bulk of that road to be built and maintained. Flame on!

Lots of public roads built for nothing but pleasure. Try the 400+ mile Blue Ridge Parkway for just one example! NO COMMERCIAL TRUCKS ALOWED on most of it.

There are plenty of roads where commercial trucks are not allowed!

This thread is amazing, know it all ricky racers bagging on a joe who made an simple error like they never have. What a joke!
